Lileks watched it.
AB5
The stupid law is hindering coronavirus responses in California, probably killing people, but Newsom is sticking to his guns.
Imbeciles, elected by morons.
FAA-AST
They’ve completed their reorganization to ramp up launch activity. But I thought they were going to be restored to their own office reporting to the SecDOT? Is that not happening?
Mysterious Masked Man
…fights off masked men to save a masked man. I noted on Twitter the other day that this must really piss off Antifa and bank robbers, because they no longer stand out in a crowd.
COBOL
Want to make money? Brush up on it, or learn it.
Boeing
Will it still be able to charge a premium for its vaunted “spaceflight expertise”?
Boeing had been riding on its laurels for too long a time. As I noted in the book, companies don’t have experience; people do. With Gerst gone, there’s a new sheriff in town at NASA.
Goodbye, Meritocracy
..Hello…what?
We certainly aren’t well served by the current college-admissions process, but there is also too much pressure to get a subpar (at best) education for the actual purpose of getting a credential.
BoJo’s Government
…gives the Times a thorough fisking.

Regulations, Post-Virus
The burden of proof should be on those who want to reimpose them.

Two and a quarter centuries ago, it was where the rubber met the road. And it was the cause of the Second Amendment, which never had anything to do with hunting.
